DNS Question

[Cole Tuininga]

Hi all - I have a question regarding DNS.  I'll even use specific
examples.  8)

Currently, Code Energy manages it's own DNS by running bind on our
server.  We have 2 ips, 208.3.246.215 and 208.3.246.216 which are
ns1.code-energy.com and ns2.code-energy.com.  If you do a whois on
code-energy.com, you'll see ns[12].code-energy.com listed as the DNS
servers for the domain.

However, the time has come to "move up" in the world.  We are in the
process of moving servers and providers.  We have a new server with the
IPs 64.34.179.90 and 64.34.182.198.  I want to move DNS responsibilities
to this new server.  I thought it was as simple as changing the A
records for ns[12] to the new IPs and wait for it to propagate.  I did
this several days ago (TTL, etc is set for a mere 3 hours for the
domain) and it still doesn't seem to have propagated out.  For one
thing, most systems still show the old IP:

egon at trogdor:~$ host ns1.code-energy.com
ns1.code-energy.com has address 208.3.246.215

Secondly, (in retrospect) it doesn't really make sense that a
ns1.code-energy.com could be the primary nameserver for code-energy.com
since it's required in order to resolve itself!

What am I misunderstanding here?  Is there somewhere else that's doing a
mapping for ns[12].code-energy.com to IPs?
